"These tales are enlivened at every turn by the author's obvious affection for today's cowboy, 'a blend of renaissance man, pioneer, jack-of-all-trades, and good ole boy.' He colorfully renders the atmosphere and details of ranch life, and although the author makes sure to closely link Clint's personal story to broader recovery-philosophy generalities, he does so with a light touch that makes for smooth reading. This has the effect of humanizing Clint and grounding his story of personal discovery.
A skillful combination of modern-day cowboy tale and substance-abuse parable."

He struggles with habits that threaten to derail his life. His journey is aided by watching the change that takes place in his best friend who took the same journey about a year before him.
